The ad valorem tax rate is established at the time the town's operating budget is adopted. The budget must be in place by June 30th of each year and in their action to adopt the budget, the Board of Commissioners also establishes the tax rate.

6. Why does the Town not accept payment at the cashier window in the form of credit or debit card?

The Town does not accept credit/debit card payments at the cashier window because there is an additional fee charged to the Town by the bank for processing a credit/debit card payment. At this time, the Town has chosen not to absorb the fee. However, the Town uses the Official Payments clearing house to process online credit/debit card payments for utility and tax payments for a convenience fee of $4.95 for utility payments and a tiered fee schedule for real estate back taxes, which is passed on to the customer. Credit/debit card payments can be made at the Town Hall via the Town's website at www.kdhnc.com using the computer for public use located in the foyer of the Administration Department. Online credit/debit card payments can also be made anywhere you have access to the Internet at www.kdhnc.com by clicking "online payment." Online payments can be made using American Express, MasterCard, Discover and Visa.
